Cedega 5.1 and CS: Source performance
I have recently downloaded and installed Cedega 5.1 and am attempting to play Counter-Strike: Source. Everything installs and launches fine, but I am getting absolutely horrible performance in game. At 800x600 with all settings on low the game is just barely playable. Somewhere between 6 months and a year ago I got Windows level performance (with slight graphical glitching) on the same system and Ubuntu Hoary, so I know better is possible. (I think that was with 4.4.3, but 4.4.3 just seems to crash the game immediately now) All of the system test in Cedega pass. The Cedega settings for Steam are currently at default, though I feel like I have tried every possible combination of settings. I have also tried Cedega versions 5.0.2, 5.0.3, 5.1.0, 4.4.3, and 4.2. System specs are as follows:
AMD 64 3000+
2GB DDR400 RAM
GeForce 6800 (128 MB) using 81.87 drivers
Kubuntu Breezy running 2.6.12-10 686 kernel.
Xorg version 6.8.2
Xorg.conf:
Does anybody have any ideas on improving performance to something reasonable? Looking forward to hearing your input, thanks in advance.Code:Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" 0 0 InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection Section "Files" # paths to defoma fonts FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID" EndSection Section "Module" # Load "GLcore" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" # Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" HorizSync 30.0 - 95.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 85.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" # Option "UseFBDev" "true" Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800]" Driver "nvidia" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800]" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 24 Option "NoLogo" "on" Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "BackingStore" "On" Option "NvAgp" "1" SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
Edit: I have just noticed that under Advanced Video Options in CS: Source it shows the hardware DX level as 7. This (I think) means that it is emulating DX9 features on the software level, which is not good. Since Cedega is supposed to be DX9 compatible I tried adding '-dxlevel 90' to the launch options for CS:S. After doing this the hardware DX level shows up as 9.0 under the options... until I actually enter a game, in which case the hardware DX level shows up as 7 again and the laginess ensues. Does anybody think that this is, in fact, the problem? If it is, what could I do aout it?
